What Kind of Crescent Rolls Should I Use?

You can use any brand of refrigerated crescent roll dough for this breakfast pizza. Pillsbury is a reliable classic, but generic store brands work just as well. The key is to press the seams together firmly on your baking sheet to form one unified crust. If you’re using crescent roll dough sheets (without the perforations), even better—less work for you!

How To Make the Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the seams together to form a rectangle and slightly build up the edges to create a crust border. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.

Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy

While the crust bakes, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Once fully browned, sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the sausage. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then pour into the skillet. Gently scramble until just set (they will finish cooking in the oven).

Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked crescent crust. Top with scrambled eggs and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Step 5: Bake Until Bubbly

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh chives before slicing and serving.

How to Serve and Store Your Breakfast Pizza

This breakfast pizza is best served warm, straight from the oven. Slice it up like a traditional pizza and enjoy with hot sauce or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet-savory combo.

To store leftovers, let the pizza cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in foil for a grab-and-go breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the crescent roll crust from getting soggy?

Pre-baking the crust before adding toppings is essential. It gives the dough a head start and helps it hold up under the gravy.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the sausage gravy and scrambled eggs in advance. Store them separately in the fridge, then assemble and bake fresh when you’re ready.

What cheese works best for this recipe?

Cheddar is classic, but feel free to mix in mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a kick.

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely. Sauteed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms are great additions. Just make sure to cook off any excess moisture first.

Is it freezer-friendly?

Yes, once baked, cool the pizza, slice it, and wrap each piece individually. It reheats beautifully in the oven.

Can I use sausage patties instead of loose sausage?

You can, but crumble them up well during cooking to ensure an even distribution in the gravy.
